Horror in Anchorage

There is a horror movie written and filmed right here in Anchorage. It is going to star and be made by members of Anchorage bands such as Bullet for Daisy, Sunbury, The Hoons, and others. John Cripps is heading the project and was nice enough to explain it further.

Q: Tell me a little about this upcoming movie

A: Well, the working title is “The Rock n Roll Freak Show Horror Movie.” The film will be in the horror-of-personality sub-genre, paying homage to the typical "1970s" exploitation films.

In other words: sex, drugs, and rock n roll, with the emphasis on the word “rock n roll,” of course. Hahahaha.

The motion picture will be written, directed, and filmed by local artists and musicians here in the Anchorage area. The Cast and Crew will be members of local bands, as well as promoters, friends, family and anyone that is willing to work toward making this movie a success.

The sole purpose is to help support and promote the artistic community. The one thing that I’m really excited about is the fact that the soundtrack will be done entirely by local bands. It started out as basically, a project for musicians, by musicians, but is quickly spreading to the art community as a whole.
